Bio
Native of Havre-St-Pierre in Quebec, Canada, Valectra discovered her passion for music at the age of five. Backed by a solid training in classical and jazz music, Valectra quickly became an accomplished multitalented musician and artist. Not only is she a proficient piano player but also an accordionist, songwriter and a gifted vocalist. This Canadian singer is a natural performer on stage. Sparkling and sexy, her talent and contagious energy led her to tour on numerous live shows in Canada, United States, Europe and Asia, accompanying local, national and international recording artists such as Lhasa de Sela, Eric Lapointe, The Box and Dawn Tyler Watson to name a few. Valectra is often compared to legends in the styles of chill out, electro house, trip hop and lounge such as Gotan Project, Morcheeba, Saint-Germain, Daft Punk or Massive Attack. She borrowed from these influences to create her own brand, mixing any style from house music to downtempo. Her new CD "Following the sound" is a sure bet for music lovers around the world. In 2009, Valectra gave a remarkable live performance at the Montreal International Jazz Festival, which was acclaimed by both the public and critics. Critic: ****½ "Singer-keyboardist-accordionist sensation Valectra seduces with a high tension music cd. A cross between Saint-Germain and Gotan Project, you'll be seduced again by her airy and captivating voice. To be looped to heat up your night life…" Christophe Rodriguez, Journal de Montréal. *************** Née dans le petit village de Havre-St-Pierre au Québec, Valectra découvre sa passion pour la musique dès l'âge de cinq ans. Elle entreprendra des études à l'université en classique et jazz lui permettant de devenir une musicienne multidisciplinaire accomplie. Non seulement elle est une pianiste hors-pair mais elle maîtrise aussi l'accordéon, le chant et la composition. Cette chanteuse canadienne se démarque sur scène par ses performances charismatiques. Son talent, son charme évident et son énergie contagieuse l'ont amenée à accompagner aux quatre coins du monde des artistes de renom tels que Lhasa De Sela, Éric Lapointe, The Box et Dawn Tyler Watson pour ne nommer que ceux-ci. Valectra est souvent comparée aux légendes des styles chill out, electro house, trip hop et lounge telles que Gotan Project, Morcheeba, Saint-Germain, Daft Punk ou Massive Attack. Elle emprunte à ces différentes influences pour créer un style bien à elle allant du house au downtempo. Son nouveau CD « Following the sound » saura plaire aux mélomanes partout sur la planète. En 2009, Valectra est invitée à jouer au Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, où elle donnera un spectacle devant une foule enthousiaste de plus de vingt mille personnes et sera acclamée par la critique. Critique: ****½ « La chanteuse, claviériste, accordéoniste Valectra séduit avec un disque haute tension, résolument dansant. Croisement musclé entre Saint-Germain et Gotan Project, vous serez de plus séduits par sa voix aérienne, presque envoûtante. À mettre en boucle pour chauffer vos soirées… » Christophe Rodriguez, Journal de Montréal. -
